Victorian Costuming

Tuesday’s Treasure: roaring 20’s

I am back to volunteering my Tuesday evenings at the Costume Museum of Canada so today you get to see the highlight from that session. We were sorting and re-packing hats from the 1920’s and I just loved this head band!

Being the magpie that I am, I was particularly drawn to the “bling” on the head band.

The blue silk is shattering but the rhinestones are still intact! On the sides there are colorful medallions.

And hanging from the medallions are 5 very long tassels.

The whole thing says 20’s and art deco with a dash of tribal. Loved it! If I were to do a flapper kind of look I’d definitely want that head band!
